Clutch Hydraulic Fluid Level

The desired fluid level is indicated on the side of the

clutch cylinder. When refilling the system, fill the cylin

der reservoir to the level indicated on the side of the

reservoir only. Do not overfill the reservoir.

Throwout Bearing

CJ and Scrambler models equipped with the 2.5 liter

four-cylinder engine use a throwout bearing that is sim

ilar to the bearing used on six-cylinder CJ and Scrani-

bler, and six- and eight-cylinder Cherokee, Wagoneer

and Truck models. The four-cylinder throwout bearing

contact face is slightly crowned. The six- and eight-

cylinder throwout bearing contact face is flat.

CLUTCH SERVICE

On four-cylinder CJ and Scrambler models, the com

ponents that form the clutch hydraulic system are fully

serviceable. Refer to the Clutch Service—Four-Cylinder

CJ and Scrambler Models section for all necessary ser

vice procedures.

On all models the clutch cover, driven plate and

throwout bearing are serviced as assemblies only. Do

not attempt to disassemble any of these components to

effect repairs. If any of these components are damaged

or severely worn, replace the component as an assembly
